The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A program of research on free-burning wood fires is being conducted by the Forest Service to build up experimental data on the properties of such fires, with the iltimate objective of describing the physical phenomena in terms of fundamental laws. Density was the first wood…

[from the text] The science of palynology has come a long way since the presentation of the first paper on modern pollen analysis by Lennart von Post at Oslo in 1916. Like many sciences it was initiated as a rather narrow discipline and consisted largely of interpretation of…

From introduction: 'Alaska has a crucial forest fire problem. Since organized fire control began in 1940, areas burned have averaged 1.2 million acres annually. The largest loss of actual record occurred in 1957 when fires swept over 5 million acres of public lands. It is…

Basal scarring, a conspicuous abnormality of western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl.) and its associated species in the Interior region of British Columbia, was found to be chiefly attributable to injury by bears, infections of Armillaria mellea (Vahl ex Fr.) Quel., fire,…
